mailto: using outlook 365

[dori2o]

Hi,

Our business is in the process of upgrading staff to Office 365, including the web version of Outlook 365.

We have a few forms which are created using excel or Word and have buttons for which the vba code uses mailto to create an email to send the form as an attachment.

Some staff are now using Outlook 365 and these button presses no longer work as they cannot locate Outlook as they no longer have the program on their workstations with 365.

Is there a solution to this or will staff need to use an alternative method ?

Thanks

Are they solely using the web version of Outlook365?

What do they have set as their default email client?

The business is moving almost everything to a cloud based system. The web version of outlook 365 is the only email client available.

Apparently you can still use a hyperlink to compose an email when using Outlook 365 on the web but it's a bit more complicated.

Not tried it myself, might try later as we also use O365 online but not exclusively, but have a look here.

PS Actually tried the first example hyperlink on that page and it worked to open to a new blank message on my online O365 account.
